Well other than almost every channel on free to air having it on I really did not notice.
But I had a laugh today.
I woke up so late I decided to go for a coffee and snack at my favorite coffee shop in the village nearby.
So sitting there minding my business I could not help but notice a couple next to me looking at the paper with a photo of all in attendance..they them proceeded to talk loudly about the folk in the photo as if they were old friends ... royalists I thought... but dont you hate folk who have conversations to impress those nearby who really could not give a damn..in this case me...I guess they were wondering why I did not go.
Sad when al you have to impress is an old fella with a walking frame and ten years worth of hair.

I watched a fair bit, you know TV on in the background, while doing other things. It was generally ok as weddings go, I have attended many far worse. Always interested in the choices people make for this sort of ceremony. The American preacher certainly stirred them all up. Loved seeing the Mulronny kids, their grandfather Brian, was PM when I lived in Canada.
I liked bits of it, seeing the celebrities in a different environment and in such a historic setting.
Although he went on far too long, that Bishop did make history, probably the first person ever to mention the slaves in that church! He was very politely reminding the crown that a fair bit of its wealth came from such victimised folks.
I also chuckled to myself after, it was more telling who WASNT invited. All this other famousers, they must have been so jealous!!
I'm no royalist but I enjoyed it. I lived for many years near Windsor and have fond memories of the place. Some very stylish outfits, the gospel choir, the beautiful weather and very few pollies. It was a nice wedding. I wish them well.

Apparently Trump is pissed that the onlooker crowd along the avenue was MUCH longer and more populated for this Royal Wedding than his inauguration crowd in Washington.
The naysayers in this thread seem to have ignored the fact that it brought
a billion dollars to the U.K. economy, so at least in one way it was
certainly not a waste of money, it generated lots of it. It also continued
the pomp and ceremony that brings in huge amounts of tourist dollars every year.
If I remember rightly, the entire royal family costs each U.K. citizen
about 30cents per year; great value for money.
I'm not a monarchist, I don't really care much either way.
